PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION:
PLYMOUTH LANDSCAPES: THEN & NOW
February 27, 2010 - May 1, 2010

An exhibition of a select group of historic photographs from the Museum's collection showing the changes in the Plymouth area landscape since the late 19th and early 20th century. The historic photos, which date between 1880 and 1910, depict an almost treeless countryside. A few modern landscape photographs from contemporary photographers Wes Ennis and Ed Nute will duplicate the older scenes to show the dramatic changes between historic and contemporary Plymouth.

Presentation & book-signing by Nick Bunker, author of
Making Haste From Babylon:
The Mayflower Pilgrims and Their World: A New History
Saturday, April 24, 2010 at 7:00 pm

Making Haste From Babylon, which will be released by Knopf on April 13, explores the economic and political circumstances that helped to drive the Mayflower voyage forward as well as the influence the Plymouth settlement had on the genesis of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
Bunker, a graduate of King's College, Cambridge, had a successful career in investment banking and financial journalism before becoming engaged with the history of Lincolnshire (home territory to many of the leaders of the Pilgrim movement). He has done research at Pilgrim Hall Museum and the Massachusetts Historical Society as well as at numerous English archives and libraries - some previously unexplored for their Pilgrim connections.
Thoroughly researched - and thoroughly readable, Making Haste From Babylon is a welcome addition to Pilgrim literature and an invigorating new look at "our Pilgrims."

Looking towards the Future!

In 2020, we will be celebrating the 400th anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth
(and the 200th anniversary of the founding of the Pilgrim Society).
Planning has already begun - and not a moment too soon!
Do YOU have an idea of something that should be incorporated into the celebrations?
Send it along to director@pilgrimhall.org

On June 10, 2008, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick visited Pilgrim Hall Museum and signed an Executive Order creating a State Commission to plan the celebration of the 400th anniversary of the arrival of the Pilgrims in 2020.
